Losing Ourselves

Losing Ourselves, narrated by Eric Meyers, explores the compelling idea that the self is an illusion, drawing from Buddhist, Daoist, Western philosophical, and scientific perspectives. Jay Garfield presents a clear, insightful case for why recognizing the non-existence of a fixed self can lead to personal and societal benefits, including moral growth, spontaneity, and better relationships. The book highlights the practical and transformative advantages of understanding our selflessness and encourages a view of life that fosters connection and ethical living.
